Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

It was the first time that the people holding the torches saw Shen Yan so serious, and he even brought up military law.

Lu Ren, You Ke and others, including Mu Yun, all stood straight.

"Yes!"

Shen Yan looked at Li Yunlong again. Li Yunlong felt a little scared by his gaze and just laughed it off.

"Haha, I didn't see or hear anything."

Shen Yan did not explain anything and said to Mu Yun: "Old Mu, you and Uncle Liu should apply for the translation. Let the disciples from the small inn who participated in the translation come to hold the torch. I am still short of some logistics personnel here, so let them come to help."

Although his words were a request, what Mu Yun heard was a request that could not be refused. He knew that Shen Yan wanted to keep the news strictly blocked, but he didn't understand why he had such a big reaction to the Jews.

"Okay Captain, I'll contact my master after I leave."

Shen Yan looked around and saw that everyone was a little nervous, so he chuckled.

"Okay, everyone take a seat. Just remember to keep this a secret. As for the reason, I will tell you when the time comes."

After everyone sat down again, Lu Ren took out the list of torchbearers from his arms and placed it on the table.

"Captain, this is the list you asked me to compile"

After Shen Yan took it, he read it several times. After a little thought, he took out a pen and started to draw on it. After he divided the people holding the torch, he stopped writing and said.

"The main task of our Torch Guards is to prevent the Japanese from making sneak attacks, so I have roughly divided the Torch Guards into seven groups. Five of the teams will be assigned to each regiment. See if there are any changes that need to be made."

You Ke and Lu Ren came closer to take a look. Each of the five teams above contained a disciple from the Tang Sect, and the others were either from Liuyun Sword or the Lu family.

Shen Yan explained to them, "The opponents we are facing this time are very good at sneak attacks and night battles, so the core of the organization of these five teams must be mainly Tangmen. Li Sen and his men are now qualified fighters. But they are still a little impatient. I let Lu Shu and his men be the team leaders, with the purpose of giving them more advice. You Ke, you should also remind them that as long as they keep the safety of each regiment, it will be a great achievement, and don't do anything out of line."

You Ke nodded and said, "Don't worry, Captain. I will warn these guys."

"Guan Lin, Jie Kong, Fa Ming and the rest of the Lu family disciples are sent to the headquarters and brigade. After I ask my senior brother to transfer some Maoshan disciples back from the New Fourth Army, we will make other arrangements. Do you think there is anything that needs to be changed?"

Lu Ren and You Ke both shook their heads and had no objection to Shen Yan's arrangement.

"Then it's settled. You Ke, our regiment is now a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese. We are short of manpower now, so please work harder. The safety of the regiment is in your hands."

"Yes, Captain"

After the splitting of the torch was completed, Shen Yan looked at Li Yunlong again.

"Captain, according to Monk Wei's intelligence, there are still several hundred friendly soldiers in that prisoner-of-war camp. They were all captured in the Battle of Xinkou. Their old troops have been reorganized. They can be said to be a group of wandering ghosts. Are you interested in bringing them here?"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up: "Of course I'm interested! What our independent regiment lacks most right now is soldiers. Tell me how to get them."

Shen Yan took the map and said, "According to the information given by the monk, this prisoner-of-war camp is located in Zhangzhuang, nearly thirty miles behind Wanjia Town. We will split our forces into two groups. You lead your men to raid the puppet troops in Wanjia Town, where their combat effectiveness is average. After you seize the horses, you will rush to Zhangzhuang and cooperate with me to receive the prisoners of war."

Li Yunlong estimated the time and distance and nodded, "That's a good idea. You take your people and set off before me. Once the battle is over, I will be able to take my people to pick you up."

"That's settled then."

After finalizing the battle plan, everyone discussed some details. Seeing that it was getting dark, Mu Yun said goodbye, and Shen Yan personally sent him out of the independent regiment.

On the way, Shen Yan took out a letter and handed it to him.

"Old Mu, I'm sorry to trouble you. Go to Longhu Mountain in the next few days and give this letter to the old Taoist priest. If the Taoist priest agrees with what is written on it, you can send some disciples from the small inn to help the Taoist priest."

"I understand, Captain. Is there anything else?" Mu Yun asked after taking the letter.

"There is one more thing. Ask the disciples in Xiaozhan to find Quanxing's people and pass on the message. Tell them that I am looking for Master Jinguang. Ask them to come find me when they have time."

Contacting Master Jin Guang in this way was a helpless move. Shen Yan still had a lot of Yin-Yang paper in his hands. But using it himself was one thing, and giving it to Quan Xing was another.

Although the two are master and disciple, they still have to consider some martial arts stances.

"Okay, Captain. I'll be leaving now."

“Take care on your journey”

After seeing Mu Yun off, Shen Yan returned to Zhiju's base alone. He sat cross-legged on the hillside behind the mountain, watching the guard company's training below.

He took out the pack of cigarettes given by his teacher from his pocket.

"wipe"

He took out a cigarette, lit it up and took a deep breath, then smiled at himself.

"Haha, I didn't expect to use it so soon."

Shen Yan kept thinking about the Jews in his mind, and two voices kept echoing in his head.

A rational voice told him that he had to root out the trouble completely and not leave any future troubles on Chinese soil.

An emotional voice countered that these refugees, young and old, many of them were innocent and just needed to wait to be deported in the future.

In the end, the voice of reason prevailed over emotion. Various news reports in previous lives had verified how these descendants of the Jews had taken over the world and how their ugly faces had made a mess of the world.

Therefore, he could not allow these 20,000 people to leave China safely no matter what.

Just as he was thinking about what action to take, You Ke's voice sounded behind him.

"Are you still thinking about those Jewish things? I saw you were absent-minded during the meeting just now."

Shen Yan extinguished the cigarette in his hand and patted the empty space next to him, motioning him to sit down.

"Ake, if I ask you to do something that goes against your will, will you do it? This thing may not only violate the rules of your Tang Sect, but even break the bottom line of being a human being."

You Ke thought for a moment and said calmly, "I have already violated the rules by joining the army. As for crossing the bottom line, I believe in your decision. You have your reasons for what you do."

Shen Yan let out a long sigh: "Ake, I have no choice in this matter. Let alone doing it, even if I just think about it, I feel that I am unforgivable. But we walk in the dark night holding torches just to give our descendants a bright future."

You Ke pinched Shen Yan's shoulder and said, "Wandering in the darkness is our Tang Sect's forte. Time, place, target, and the rest are left to me."

"It will be around July or August. Your mission is to follow the person who did it and make sure that no one is left alive. I mean anybody alive! Don't ask who did it. Return immediately after the operation. Keep all the details of the operation to yourself. Don't ever tell anyone about it in your lifetime."

You Ke was a little confused: "Shouldn't we do this?"

"There are people who are more qualified than us to do this. We cannot do it with our identities. Your subsequent task is to evacuate the people who did it to the designated location."

"it is good"

You Ke was a little confused. He always felt that there was something else behind Shen Yan's words, as if he was hiding something.

In the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong was still studying the details of the raid on Wanjia Town on the map, while Kong Jie, who was organizing the troops, returned to the regiment headquarters.

"Old Li, are you looking for me?"

Li Yunlong chuckled: "We should accept this great gift from Old Ding. It would be bad if we were to accept it too late and he changed his mind."
